On my TV- Violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate- Staring at the rise in murder rate
I can't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone
A battered wife- Waits for us to hear
Her screams tonight
A child of war- Wonders what we're all fighting for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time- We're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang- Teaches all kids to act insane
Religious right- Is buying up guns for
A hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain-
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone insane?
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe- There's got to be-
Some way to break through
I think that I- Will have to try- Or I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Why?
